Catwoman: When in Rome #1

Tim Sale's stark, high-contrast cover sets the mood beautifully — Selina Kyle gazes coolly in profile, draped in a luxurious fur-trimmed coat with a bold red chevron scarf, while a clenched fist adorned with crimson claws hints at the danger lurking beneath the glamour. Billed right on the cover as "A Catwoman Murder Mystery," this 2004 DC miniseries sends Selina to Rome with Jeph Loeb writing and Sale illustrating, a pairing that clearly relishes noir atmosphere. Chapter One: Monday promises an elegant, deadly opening to a story that already looks as stylish as its protagonist.
